Since we’re back home and summer hasn’t hit yet, it’s time to hammer out some landscaping! I’ve had a plan for my front yard for about a year now but just haven’t had the time to start on it. First on my list was a dry creek bed from the gutter underneath the walkway down to the culvert.
Now that I finally got my dry creek bed, next on the list is to terrace the front yard. It’s a pretty steep slope and I despise mowing it (which is really what started all of this…) but it’s going to need sections so the mulch doesn’t just get washed away. Fun fact: paving stones are expensive so I got some chunks of log from a friend who had a tree fall down in their yard and used that instead. By the time it rots away the plants will be large enough to keep the mulch on the hill anyway!
I’m doing this one chunk at a time as I find the motivation, so it was like that for a while and then I started moving stones around to create a second layer!
